4 years young

The little monkeys
Are celebrating
Another year
Of baby business
By screaming
And rolling
On lurid plastic sponges

Suitable sounds
The whole Aqua back catalogue
Keep their swinging
In time
And violent enough

Plates of
Future vomit
Cover little
Ape tables
And tiny doorless toilets
Are gathering places
For underground movements
The wild and unruly
Their eyes only staring
Their faces so spaced
Some wittering sillily
In too-wet knickers

You wonder quietly
What's left for later?
